It was the small things that helped, taken one by one and savoured," English writer Rumer Golden recalls in her mesmeriazing memoir of an authentic life. A house with four Rooms. "Make yourself savour them" she told herself when life was not tidy.

Life is not tidy around here today: schedules colliding, needs are conflicting, and the house is strewn with real-life refuse, reflecting outwardly the disarray of my mind at this moment. My natural inclination-which I am thwarting with a tremendous act of will-to start cleaning. But if i stop to clean, then I'll interrupt the rhythmn of the day. I really only have a few precious hours to work uninterupted. A few precious hours to hold one thought in my head and follow it word by word to its completion, even if it takes all my day.

"There is an old Indian proverb that says that everyone is a house with four rooms, a physical, a mental, an emotional, and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room at a time, but unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person. Thank you - Sarah Brenbauch

Love that quote and how true it is. Thanks for sharing it Lisa I will have to write it down and share it with Steve. He has a ton of quotes that he uses regularly. Have a great Friday and a great weekend in case I don't get on.
